Dear brothers and sisters,

Vijayamuni returned to hospital for a day last week due to an increase in pain. While there they found two new tumors in his lower spine.

Buddhism and Politics - Talk 1

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Tue, 6 Jul, 2021 - 00:00
Should Buddhist sanghas and Buddhist Centres get involved in politics or remain politically neutral? When political debate can be so fractious and polarised, how can Buddhists make a helpful contribution? In this ambitious and challenging talk, Vajragupta asks us to reflect on our political views and conditioning, so as to come to a deeper appreciation of what a Buddhist perspective might be. First of a series of three talks given for Buddhist Action Month 2021.

With his usual warmth, clarity and good humour, Prajnaketu explores the mental events of hatred and love with great detail and personal reflections.
